Tidying up international nucleotide sequence databases [PDF]
Sequence analysis of the ribosomal RNA operon, particularly the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, provides a powerful tool for identification of mycorrhizal fungi.

Climatic resilience after extreme drought in Mediterranean shrubland plant communities
Extreme climatic events are increasing with climate change, producing changes in communities' climatic characterization. So, mismatches (climatic disequilibrium, CD) between climatic conditions inferred from species' requirements (community inferred climate, CIC) and macroclimate may undergo changes with extreme climatic events.

Recent advances in exploring physiology and biodiversity of ectomycorrhizas highlight the functioning of these symbioses in ecosystems [PDF]
Ectomycorrhizas, the dominating mycorrhizal symbiosis in boreal, temperate and some tropical forests, are formed by 5000-6000 species of the asco- and basidiomycetes.

ABSTRACT Background Despite the availability of modern techniques for high‐resolution non‐destructive rhizosphere analysis, destructive examinations yielding a certain minimum soil amount are often required to provide detailed insights into organic matter composition.

Resource inequality limits transfer of nutrients from soils to plants in experimental grassland
A system's functioning is influenced not only by resource availability but also, likely, by resource inequality. In ecological systems most experimental manipulations of resource availability typically focused on homogeneous resource addition, or spatial heterogeneity of resources in a qualitative sense. Here, we test whether resource inequality per se

Impact of cropping system on mycorrhiza [PDF]
The impact of cropping system on field communities of mycorrhizal fungi was studied utilising a long-term experiment on a loamy soil. Two contrasting crop rotations each with two fertilisation regimes were compared. The conventional crop rotation (barley-

Monitoring water-soil dynamics and tree survival using soil sensors under a big data approach [PDF]
ArticleThe high importance of green urban planning to ensure access to green areas requires modern and multi-source decision-support tools. The integration of remote sensing data and sensor developments can contribute to the improvement of decision ...

Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored
Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.

Sand is one of the planting media, but the use of sand as a planting medium is still rare due to the low nutrient content. Quartz sand needs the addition of compost to support plant growth. Mycorrhiza can also be added to the growing media.

Phosphorus nutrition of ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal tree seedlings from a lowland tropical rain forest in Korup National Park, Cameroon [PDF]
The relationship between mycorrhizal colonisation and phosphorus acquired by seedlings of the arbuscular mycorrhizal tree Oubanguia alata Bak f. (Scytopetalaceae) and the ectomycorrhizal tree Tetraberlinia moreliana Aubr.
